Try looking at Vaio's S series if you want something expensive and sleek...

No offense, but that machine really wasn't worth the $950 you paid for it.

I wouldn't spend that amount on a machine that's been used THAT much unless it had been upgraded considerably, kinda like mine.

I would stay away from the MBP unless you're never going to game on the go. It's almost pointless to grab something that's not built with even modest gaming in mind with that budget.

Since size matters to you, I would honestly say to look at the MSI GT60 and the Sager NP9150. Those two should offer more than enough options. The former of the two is one of the only 15" machines that allows for twin HDDs and a CD drive within the machine's confines.

It's pretty impressive.

Show me a laptop with a crossfire that was brand new for 950$.
That has HDMI INput (Xbox 360,ps3 gaming).
Cable In for antenna.
Also the X8100 holds three hdd's. ( Had Raid 0 than backup to spare.) (4 if you convert the DVD area into HDD bay).
Show me a laptop that is not used and not alienware for under 950$ (With either sli or crossfire).
I bought mine and wife's for 1600$ Both X8100/NP8190

Also mine had upgrade's but I parted my machine at one time to get my wife's machine up running since her machine crap out due to a 940 overheating. (Same laptop just SLI 260's).

No my friend I took a great deal.
